1.0.1.0    Released: 2005-09-16
  • This release of Emulation for .NET introduces a new feature that simplifies distribution. With previous releases, inclusion of the separate POWERVT.FON file was required when distributing applications to target machines.  If this file was not included, the default vt220_ascii font was not available. The POWERVT.FON file is now included as a resource that, if not found, is automatically extracted into the deployment target's System32 directory! For cases in which the targer user lacks sufficient privileges to write to the System32 directory, the POWERVT.FON file is still available for manual distribution

  • Corrected situation when wrong sequences sent for PGUP key
  • Also includes updates to version 1.0.2.0 of the Telnet DLL

  • No longer incorrectly hiding scrollbars
  • No longer rendering a blank display when form is closed
  • Internal Telnet Client no longer crashes when connection is immediately closed
  • No longer get 'Divide by zero error' with Vt.Write in certain conditions
  • Fixed GDI leak when VT instance is created on a form
  • Now able to write to windowed VT instances when windowless instances exists
  • Corrected situation when certain characters would be misinterpreted and thus displayed incorrectly
  • EnsureVisible method now correctly includes scrollback buffer
  • Added Powervt.fon as a resource. If an application is started on a system that does not have Powervt.fon installed, the font will be created from a resource and installed into the System32 directory
  • Obsolete properties no longer throw exception when Form.Localizable = True
